HF, 6 METERS AND 2 METERS ARE 100W CW FM AND SSB, ABOUT 25W AM. 70CM IS ABOUT 50W CW FM SSB AND I HAVE NEVER CHECKED AM ON UHF. ONE THING TO KNOW IS THAT THERE IS A HORRIBLE BIRDIE ON THE SATELLITE SUB BAND ON UHF WHICH MADE THE OLD AO-27 SATELLITE USELESS.THIS BIRDIE IS AUDIBLE ANYWHERE IN THE HOUSE ON AN HT AS WELL WHENEVER THE RADIO IS POWERED UP. ANOTHER LIMITATION OF THE 2000 IS YOU CAN NOT GET SWR INFORMATION OR READ ANY METERING WHATSOEVER THAN THE S METER. YOU ALSO HAVE TO COUNT CLICKS TO SET PL TONES, AND HAVE WAY WAY TO TELL IF YOU HAVE THE PROCESSOR TURNED ON. THERE ARE OTHER RADIOS WHICH HAVE MORE THINGS YOU CAN READ AS A BLIND OP. ALL OF THAT HAVING BEEN SAID IT IS AN EXCELLENT HF RADIO CONSIDERING IT IS A DESIGN THAT IS OVER 15 YEARS OLD. THE DSP ON NEWER RADIOS IS MUCH BETTER I BELIEVE. I FIND THE DSP NOISE REDUCTION TO BE ONLY MARGIONALLY EFFECTIVE, AND IT OFTEN MAKES WEAK SIGNALS HARDER RATHER THAN EASIER TO COPY. I HAD THE CHANCE TO OPERATE AN ICOM 7800 AND ALTHOUGH THAT IS OVIOUSLY NOT A FAIR COMPARISON, RATHER LIKE COMPARING A TOYOTA COROLLA TO A BMW, THE DSP WAS SHOCKINGLY MORE EFFECTIVE ON THAT RADIO, AND I CAN ONLY WONDER HOW MUCH BETTER THE DSP IS ON A KENWOOD TS590 THAN THE 2000. I ALSO FIND THAT I CAN HEAR WEAK STATIONS ON MY TMV71A MOBILE THAT ARE NOT AS STRONG ON MY 2000. IF YOU PLAN ON USING A PREAMP AT THE ANTENNA THEN THAT IS NO ISSUE.
GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY
